QUESTION:

A single constant force of magnitude 12 N acts on a particle of mass m. The particle starts from rest and travels in a straight line a distance of 18 m in 6.0 s. Find m.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

We are asked to find the mass of a particle which is acted upon by a single constant force of 12N, which moves to a distance of 18m in 6s. 

Here, we need to understand that the particle moves under the influence of applied constant force. 

Given:

Force applied to the particle F = 12N

Distance traveled: s = 18m

Time taken: t = 6s

Formulas/equations used:

1. Newton's second law of motion: F = ma

2. Newton’s second equation of motion: \(s=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}\)
